Carbon Footprint

Carbon footprint is the measuring of carbon dioxide in the air produced by humans.For example , the burning up of fossil fuels which create gases by heating or electricity.

I measured my carbon footprint by taking the quizzes on these 2 websites : http://footprint.wwf.org.uk & http://www.myfootprint.org/ . I then calculated both numbers and divided them by two which gave me a score of 6.775 number of earths .It showed me through pie graphs and line graphs the perecentage of each consumption i used globally (travel or food) and compared them with each other.

A couple of ways to reduce carbon footprints are easy and simply to follow.First, one has to take the quiz on the website and see how much he is consuming to be aware of he situation.Second,using better alternatives of electricity such as renewable sources to save electicity for example using fluorescent light bulbs instead of the old bulbs that use a lot of energy.Next, not wasting energy would reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air for example, switching off the lights when not needed.Last,buying organic food would reduce too the amount of carbon dioxide produced.

Analysis of Inconvenient truth

Many people have different views about the Al Gore's movie "An Inconvenient truth".I think the movie was good and people should have a look on what Al Gore thinks about global warming and how he supports his ideas through it.

I think Al Gore was a really good speaker as seen on the movie. He withdraws the people’s attention and convinces us that global warming will affect the future generation. The message in the movie was clear, easily understood and direct. Al Gore ideas were presented in the correct order and tried to level with the people by showing them a part of his life to them. In addition, the set of the movie and the scenery was beautiful. The movie all in all was actually really interesting especially when you see Al gore’s speech.

In conclusion , I think people should watch the movie because it’s worth watching and it would make the people aware of what has happened in the world in the past and what is happening in the world today.

Summary

Al Gore was running for president in the USA with bush. He is into helping the environment and was talking about global warming by trying to go around the world to spread out the crisis that is affecting the planet earth. He also talked about how global warming would affect the future generation and what humans should do to stop it from happening. In addition, he also supports his ideas with facts as seen on his presentation with graphs and images. In the movie, he withdraws the people’s attention and makes them feel motivated to help stop the causes. As seen to, he reflects his life in the movie which shows a different side of him , for example how his father used to have a farm and breeds angus cows that made him win for the best farmer and how upset he was watching his son's death in the hospital after being hit by a car.
